Wilderness Systems (Pungo, Manteo, etc.) has a rebate of 10% off the purchase price of a kayak until Dec. 31st. On top of that, Bob Smith's Wilderness House in Brighton is matching the 10% at the register for a total of 20% off the retail price of WS yaks.

Also, Dagger and Perception are running a $50 rebate until the end of the year as well.

Also, Wilderness House must have 20 yaks hanging from the ceiling right now. It is a good place to start "kickin' the tires" in the yak buying process.

Wandering through there the other day I muddied my kayak purchasing decision when I came across a Wilderness System Cape Horn 15 fresh off the truck. Now I'll have to paddle the Perception Carolina and the WS Cape Horn to make my decision.
